The Mets faced a frustrating defeat against the Cardinals after a series of strong performances. Despite taking walks and hitting well, they fell short in both games of a doubleheader. Blade Tidwell made his debut, showcasing potential despite an overall poor line, especially in a shaky first inning. As the game progressed, missed opportunities, particularly from star player Pete Alonso, proved critical. The Mets mounted a late-comeback effort but were ultimately unable to secure a win, underscoring issues with their performance and highlighted the challenges of newcomers like Tidwell.
Tidwell's final line was ugly, but I thought he actually pitched pretty well...he was better, but undone by dinks and dunks over the infield.
The Mets mounted a furious comeback in the eighth...unfortunately it caught the tiniest sliver of the plate for strike three, which was bad.
On Sunday they wound up a run in arrears...the Mets took walks and pounded balls all over Busch Stadium.
The first game was more interesting than the second, as it brought the at least moderately heralded debut of Blade Tidwell.
